What the school inspection says

“Pupils thrive in this highly ambitious and warmly supportive school … Pupils take healthy pride in belonging to their house. They celebrate their own achievements and the achievements of others. Pupils are inspired by the broad range of subjects they can study. These include classical civilisation, Latin and music. Pupils with special needs and/or disabilities (Send) are supported to achieve well ... The school is part of White Ribbon, where men advocate for an end to violence against women and girls. Pupils in the sixth form are particularly grateful for the stand leaders have taken on this important issue.”

*Ofsted no longer makes an overall effectiveness judgment in inspections of state-funded schools. A five-point grading scale, including a new “exceptional” grade was introduced in November 2025.
